Additional 19 coronavirus cases confirmed in Leeds as figures go up across Yorkshire

A further 19 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Leeds and an extra 106 across Yorkshire.

The biggest spike in Yorkshire was seen in Bradford, where there were an additional 31 cases over the past 24 hours.

The city is among the areas in West Yorkshire that has recently had tighter lockdown restrictions enforced, alongside Calderdale and Kirklees.

The second biggest increase in cases was seen in Leeds, with the 19 newly confirmed cases taking the city's total to 3,851.

Elsewhere Kirklees saw an increase of 16 cases and Sheffield had an increase of 13.

There were no new cases recorded in either Doncaster or York and it was a decrease in the numbers from the previous day, when there were an additional 145 cases recorded in Yorkshire. However, cases recorded at the weekend tend to be lower than those during the week.

It takes the total number of people to have tested positive for the disease in Yorkshire to 31,171.

This comes as there were no new coronavirus deaths recorded by hospitals in Yorkshire over the past day. Across wider England, a further four people who had tested positive for the virus have died.
